    In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s arrival to planet Mars, Deputy project scientist Dr. Leslie Tamppari presented a summary of NASA’s research and discoveries. Within the last decade, over two hundred and fifty terabytes of data have been sent home by the spacecraft, giving us insight about the Red Planet during the ongoing search of water and habitable zones. The idea of water on Mars has such high relevance because it is a necessity to any type of living organism. Although present day Mars currently has no liquid water that is stable on the planet’s surface, physical traces of canals and dominant signs of past water flow have been found with use of MRO’s high resolution camera.…

    As a researcher for one of NASA’s top research laboratories, Brent Sherwood of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory strongly feels “the benefits of a manned Mars mission may not justify its enormous costs” [1]. It is instinctive of human nature to initially consider this risk only in terms of monetary cost. This is just a small sense of what some members of the political, science, and internal communities feels that “NASA's overarching goal of sending astronauts to Mars may not be worth the time, money and trouble”. Sherwood added that "our rationale for exploring Mars, I think, is perhaps fatally weak". Sherwood stated this during a presentation with NASA's Future In-Space Operations working group.…

    The first thing they don’t talk about, is the economic potential there is with space exploration, similar to how the invention of ships expanded the economy of many early civilizations. Then, with their point of spending more money on other things such as improving our atmosphere or changing the weather, they fail to realize that NASA’s funding has been slowly decreasing these last few years and still nothing related to the oppositions suggestions for what the money should be spent on has been done. NASA’s funding is so low that it can’t even launch their own astronauts up to the International Space Station, instead they buy a seat on one of Boeing or SpaceX rockets, and still no money is going towards the things they suggested. Another argument they don’t realize that’s invalid is that NASA does nothing. Throughout their research, development, and launch of ships into space they have created several pieces of technology that are still used today.…

    While the idea of living on Mars may seem worthless and impractical, the colonization of Mars could have a worthwhile effect on not only the Earth, but the Universe. Space travel has been on hold since the space race in the sixties, but given the current spark in curiosity and drive, the idea of going to Mars is becoming a reality. Having an alternative Earth may seem frivolous, but at the rate at which the Earth itself is depleting, an alternative home planet is the most viable option for keeping the human species alive and thriving. The quality of life on Earth will improve because there will be more advanced technology and an understanding of science and space that can be implemented to life on Earth. Colonizing Mars has the opportunity to…

    Most naysayers of manned space travel focus heavily on the danger to the astronauts and the massive amount of resources that are supposebly wasted in space. Some argue against government funded space programs while others argue against space travel in general, but all say they have good reason. Space travel is expensive, many people say that we could use this money to fix many of the world 's problems such as hunger and poverty. This is a very good rebuttal to space exploration as the problems with poverty are very important. Yet the amount of money that could potentially be made with space technology such as asteroid mining would help these problems far more than just redirecting current funds out of space.…
